www.aljazeera.com Australia must recognise Palestine to promote peace

Such a move would support the peace efforts, not undermine them, as some have argued.

Australia must recognise Palestine to promote peace

Labor Senator Fatima Payman defies her party to advocate for the recognition of Palestine

> In opposition, our prime minister and the Labor Party were fierce champions of Palestine and passionate voices for justice. I ask that we summon that spirit of old and do the same in power.

Carbrained problems in narrow (wide) streets at the edge of suburban sprawl
  • I'm Australian, and the photo clearly showing that you can park a car and get two cars past one another tells me that these "narrow streets" are substantially wider than all the normal streets in my vicinity.

    I suspect this is more of a stroad (and planning) problem than an actual narrow street problem.

  • www.theguardian.com ‘What is our future?’: the Nauru detention centre was empty. Now 100 asylum seekers are held there

    The number of asylum seekers at the centre has been slowly growing, with fears they will spend years trapped on the island

    ‘What is our future?’: the Nauru detention centre was empty. Now 100 asylum seekers are held there

    > “We must not forget that people have the legal right to seek safety and asylum. It is beyond comprehension the Albanese government is continuing Australia’s cruel legacy of banishing people offshore simply because they sought safety by sea, and to prevent political fallout from the opposition.” > > Abdel-Raouf said authorities on the island had kept asylum groups separate – and so unable to share information – and restricted people’s ability to contact family members, support agencies or advocacy organisations. Asylum seekers have had smartphones taken from them – and with them access to apps like WhatsApp to communicate with family – replaced by “brick” dumb phones without cameras, which means they cannot take photos to document their detention.

    Wahl-O-Mat Matches Your Position Against Political Parties Positions (EU Elections)
  • Australia has ABC Vote Compass, but it has some oddities based on issues with our political/media landscape:

    • it only places you relative to the three top parties
    • all the questions are specific election wedge issues (mostly between the top two parties) rather than broader ideological questions, and so it only updates in the run up to each federal (read: national, Australia wide) election
    • it takes politicians statements at face value, and doesn't factor in actual behaviour in power which is often at odds (if you're curious, look up the history of high speed rail or nuclear power in Australia. Both have been used for electioneering again and again, neither exist despite the advocating party winning)

    One might assume something called the National Anti-Corruption Commission would do what it says on the box – one might also be wrong
